Just weeks after getting the wedding she had long wished for, Taunton resident Liznay Ramos died at home surrounded by family and friends after a four-year struggle with cancer.

Born and raised in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Ramos was a skilled chef and a mother of one who hoped to one day open her own restaurant, her husband said. She was 31.

“She wasn’t ready to go,” said her husband, Taunton native Norberto Ramos. “She had a lot of plans. She was nice and caring. She was very outgoing. You don’t expect her to go so fast. She was a very family-oriented person. She was always worried about her family and about everyone else. She was always trying to make sure everyone’s else’s life was in line. She was always calling them every day.”

Ramos was the subject of a feature in the Taunton Daily Gazette in early June, talking about her wedding that was made possible through the nonprofit Wish Upon a Wedding. The June 6 wedding at the Villa in East Bridgewater cost about $15,000, all covered by donations from a network of local businesses, coordinated by Wish Upon A Wedding.

Ramos died as a result of cervical cancer on July 12. She is survived by her husband, two-year-old son Dylan Ramos, parents Jose Humbert and Carmen Rodriguez, and a brother, David Rodriguez.

Constant medical bills prevented Ramos and her husband from being able to hold the wedding they wanted for the last two years, until a about five months ago when volunteers from Wish Upon a Wedding approached her.

“Her passing is extremely sad,” said Julia Barnes, volunteer coordinator for Wish Upon a Wedding Boston and nurse trainer at Morton Hospital. “She loved her wedding and said she was very, very happy. ... We gave pride in giving her what she wanted in her wedding, and are very proud of that. We can look back at that and smile.”

Barnes said she remembers Ramos for her positive attitude and her compassion for others despite the seriousness of her own illness, which spread to her lungs and thigh.

“She was wonderful,” Barnes said. “When she was here in the hospital, I got to meet her and know her. It was like one of my children here. At one time, she knew my daughter was sick, and she was always texting me seeing how my daughter was. She was going through all this and remembered that my daughter was sick. She didn’t complain. You walked into room and she greeted you with a smile no matter what’s going on. I’m going to miss her.”

Ginny Starvish, the cancer care nurse navigator at Morton, has a picture of Ramos in her office.

“I look at it and know there is an angel up in heaven,” Starvish said.

Starvish said at the time, she and others weren’t sure if Ramos was going to make it to her wedding. Starvish said Ramos was one of three young mothers with cervical cancer from the Taunton area who died within six months of each other.

“Living 31 years is too short, it really is,” Starvish said. “It was the beginning of her motherhood years. It was the beginning of another chapter in her life.”

Norberto Ramos met his wife in Puerto Rico, where he went to school. She graduated from Banka Institute in Ponce with an associate’s degree, and later worked as a chef and general manager in nearby restaurants.

Norberto Ramos said that in addition to Latin fare, his wife was able to cook all kinds of food, including Russian and Chinese cuisine.

“She had her own cookbook, and wanted to put her own business together,” he said.

He said that he was glad that he and his wife were able to have their wedding day together.

“She loved the wedding,” Noberto Ramos said. “That’s one thing she really loved. The wedding was a great time. It was a good memory. It was a good thing.”

Funeral services are scheduled for Aug. 4 at St. Mary’s Church in Taunton, he said. Arrangements are being done by the Silva Funeral Home.
